Update: 200 Wins in 2016-2017 for Titleist Golf Ball Players

This past week Titleist golf ball loyalist Cameron Davis trusted his Pro V1x golf ball to capture the first professional victory of his career at the Emirates Australian Open. It was also a milestone win for the Pro V1 family as it marked the 200th title for Pro V1 and Pro V1x players across the worldwide professional tours over the course of the 2016-2017 season. That's more than seven times the nearest competitor with 28 .

During this same time, the game's finest players have relied on a Titleist Pro V1 or Pro V1x golf ball 25,993 times, nearly seven times the nearest competitor with 3,820 and more than all competitors combined.

And we're still counting, as a few worldwide tournaments remain to be played before we can officially close the books on what has been a remarkable season.

And in case you missed our Year-End Report in October, check out some updated highlights from the past year as we look forward to the 2017-2018 season...

In June, Thomas recorded his first top-10 at a U.S Open, equaling the U.S Open record for low round with his third-round 63. One month later he won his first major championship title at the 99th PGA Championship at Quail Hollow Club, coming from two strokes behind to eventually win by two shots. The win marked his fifth PGA Tour victory in his 90th start.

Jordan Spieth (Pro V1x) also enjoyed multiple wins in 2016-2017. Spieth captured the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in February and then won the Travelers Championship by holing a dramatic bunker shot to prevail in a sudden-death playoff. Spieth rode that momentum to Royal Birkdale, where he seized the Claret Jug for his third victory of the season (see European Tour, below). Spieth finished 2nd in the FedExCup race after posting three top-10 finishes in the first three Playoff events.

This year, the Zurich Classic of New Orleans made a significant change, adopting a 2-man best-ball format. Titleist Brand Ambassador Cameron Smith and Titleist golf ball loyalist Jonas Blixt both trusted a Pro V1x golf ball and teamed up to win the revamped event in exciting playoff fashion.

Titleist Brand AmbassadorCameron Smith(Pro V1x) earned his maiden victory on the PGA Tour this season (at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans), as did Titleist golf ball loyalistMackenzie Hughes(Pro V1x / RSM Classic).

Of the 22 PGA Tour victories recorded by Titleist golf ball players this season, 10 were achieved by Titleist Brand Ambassadors who also relied on full bags of Titleist golf club equipment for their success.

The #1 Irons on the PGA Tour and #1 in Wins - More players trusted Titleist irons than any other competing brand, collecting 12 victories in 2016-2017, tops on Tour.

Titleist was also the #1 Hybrid on the PGA Tour. This season, players put a Titleist hybrid in play 863 times, compared to 536 for the nearest competitor.

Players trusting Titleist 917 metals won 11 times on the PGA Tour during the 2016-2017 season, more than any competing brand.

Of all the Titleist pitching wedges played on Tour this season, 63% were Vokey Design models. This is a 7% increase from 2015 and clear validation of the Progressive Center of Gravity technology found in Vokey SM6 wedges.

Players trusting Vokey Design wedges captured 21 PGA Tour victories this year, including The Players Championship, three of the four major championships contested this year, three FedExCup playoff events and they were the choice of Titleist Brand Ambassador, FedExCup champion and Player of the Year Justin Thomas.

Once again, Scotty Cameron putters were the most trusted putters on the PGA Tour, with 40% of all putters in play in 2017 and topping the equipment counts at every event on Tour this season. During that time, players trusting a Scotty Cameron putter won 20 PGA Tour events, including The Players Championship, three of the four major championships contested this year and a FedExCup playoff event.

Players trusting Scotty Cameron putters captured 71 victories on the worldwide professional golf tours this season, including 11 wins on the LPGA Tour.

This season, Titleist Brand Ambassador Justin Thomas worked with Scotty Cameron on a new putter that would provide the longer sight lines and high-MOI benefits of Scotty's Futura models, but that would also feature more toe-hang to complement Justin's putting stroke. The result was the Scotty Cameron Futura 5.5M, a mid mallet chassis with a shorter shaft bend that Thomas used to capture his first major at the PGA Championship, win the FedExCup and earn Player of the Year honors. Recently, the Futura 5.5M joined the Scotty Cameron Futura lineup and is available in golf shops now.

Players trusting Titleist Pro V1 and Pro V1x golf balls won 22 times during the 2016-2017 European Tour season, compared to five for the nearest competitor.

Fleetwood added two runner-up finishes to his victories, as well as a 4th place finish at the U.S. Open.

With his dramatic win at this year's Open Championship, Titleist Brand Ambassador Jordan Spieth became only the second golfer in history to win three of four major championships before his 24th birthday. Trusting a Pro V1x golf ball and Titleist golf clubs through the bag at Royal Birkdale, Spieth was the only player to fire four consecutive rounds in the 60’s (65-69-65-69). He played his final five holes in 5-under-par to close with 1-under-par 69, good for a 12-under-par 268 victory total, three shots clear of his playing partner and nearest competitor.

At the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, Titleist golf ball loyalist Tyrrell Hatton (Pro V1x) successfully defended his 2016 title, making him only the fourth player in history to defend the same event for his first two wins.

These wins marked the first career major titles for each player.

Titleist golf ball loyalist Shanshan Feng (Pro V1x) became the only player to win back-to-back on the LPGA Tour in 2017, as she followed up her win at the TOTO Japan Classic with a one-shot victory at the Blue Bay LPGA. It marked the season-high-tying third victory of the year for Feng, who also won the Volvik Championship in May.

When Sung Hyun Park (Pro V1x) won the U.S. Women's Open earlier this month, it also marked the first LPGA Tour title of her career. Park joins Danielle Kang (Pro V1x), whose major victory at the KPMG Women's PGA Championship was also her maiden LPGA Tour victory.

Titleist Brand Ambassador Chesson Hadley has to the PGA Tour this season along with a host of fellow Pro V1 and Pro V1x golf ball players who earned tour cards through their regular season play on the Web.com Tour and/or the Web.com Finals. In fact, of the 50 players who punched their tickets to the 2017-2018 PGA Tour, 41 trust a Pro V1 of Pro V1x golf ball.
